Options and Alternatives to Hysterectomy Making your Choice and Exploring your Options

There are several ways a hysterectomy may be performed. Sometimes these choices are not available to all patients for various medical reasons, body mass index (BMI), your diagnosis, size of the uterus, expertise of your surgeon or some other factor. Discuss with your surgeon your options and always consider exploring other options with other surgeons for a second opinion. One surgeon may tell you that you are not a candidate for a less-invasive procedure but another may find you are an excellent candidate. It's time to research!

A hysterectomy removed the entire uterus including the cervix. A partial hysterectomy leaves the cervix. Removal of the ovaries and removal of fallopian tubes may be included in the procedure.

A hysterectomy may be performed entirely through an abdominal incision. Read more about the abdominal hysterectomy. A hysterectomy may be performed entirely through the vagina. Read more about the vaginal hysterectomy. A hysterectomy may also be performed with a laparoscope. Read more about Laparoscopic Hysterectomy . And a hysterectomy may be performed with a robot-assisted laparoscope called a daVinci hysterectomy.
